When speaking to reporters after Saturday's game at Ford Field, Commanders head coach Dan Quinn credited his defense, highlighting the emphasis on creating turnovers as key to defeating the Lions.

There’s no point in holding off, so we’ll skip to the stunner: The Washington Commanders are back in the NFC Championship Game for the first time since 1992 after their shocking 45-31 upset win over the Detroit Lions last night.

Detroit was able to open the second half with nearly a 6:00 offensive drive that spanned 91 yards. St. Brown and Gibbs led the way, as Detroit trimmed the Commanders' lead to 31-28 midway through the third quarter. Gibbs scored his second touchdown of the game on an 8-yard scamper.
